Top 10 Most Overused Rock & Metal Stereotypes

Rock & Metal two popular music genre have quite a lot of overused stereo types. For this list I`m counting down the most overused stereo types of both genres. NOTE: I don't believe in these stereo types but I`m rather against them hence why the word overused is in the list. If there's any stereo types I forgot add them.

The Top Ten

1Both Rock and Metal Music are Sexist

Where did this even come from? - 3DG20

Neither genres are sexist and stop making this stereo type a thing.

2Metal Music is Just Screaming/ Screamo

All stereotypes make me LOL every time I see them. About this one, guess what: screamo isn't a metal subgenre, it's a punk subgenre - screamo is a subgenre of emo and emo is a style of post-hardcore that emerged from hardcore punk. There's no metal in this, it's punk-based but people think it's metal because of the stereotype - metal is the genre with screaming.

Of course metal isn't just screaming but metal singers use screams to express emotions. And what's so wrong with that? The Beatles are praised for their screaming! - Metal_Treasure

Actually if you bothered to listen to the genre there's more to it then just screaming...

Metal and scream-o aren’t even the same thing... - 3DG20

3Metal is Talentless

Only 4 types of people would say that metal is talentless: ignorant, biased, delusional and jealous. Actually there is a "visitor" of this site who is a combination of these 4 - he wrote the dumbest comments on my lists. Many users (not only metal fans) hate him for a reason. - Metal_Treasure

Really? Last I checked trying to play "Master of Puppets" took actual talent.
